Story Time

Welp, they survived their first day back at daycare.  It was a daddy drop off & pick-up day.  I talked to Jeff after he dropped them off.  Doesn't sound like drop off was very pretty.  But sounds like they had an ok day otherwise.  Stuck to themselves a lot.  {Unfortunate since we were making good progress being social!}  But I think its been 5-6 weeks since they have been there.  5 weeks of quarantine.  I thought about calling all day to check on them.  But decided not to.  What could I have done anyways??  Would have just sat at work after that knowing, instead of wondering if it was going badly.  But they survived. 

I always look at their report sheet from each day when I get home to get the gist of how the day went.  Especially since Jeff drops off AND picks up this semester because of his schedule, so I don't talk to anyone regularly.  We sent Livi in a pull-up & asked them to take her every hour.  {Figured the day would be rough enough, didn't want her to get upset if she had an accident with everything else going on.}  But she peed in the potty all day!  I asked them what they had for lunch & they correctly told me soup.  And for snack they say they had goldfish {though the only listed meal is lunch so I'm not sure}.

They also read the book "Three Little Pigs".... so I asked them about it.  I was amazed at the response I got from them.  AMAZED!  Amazed at how much their language, communication & retention has changed in the past month!!  Even Logan is talking real sentences lately.  {His speech is still just less clear.}

I asked about the 3 pigs.  "What did the pigs do?"
H:  "Break a house."
Me:  "The pigs broke the house?"
H:  "No, bear break it."
O:  "No, olf {wolf} break it."
H:  "No, bear.:
O:  "No, olf.  No I say it!"
Me:  "No fighting.  It was a wolf.  What did that wolf do?"
L:  "{enter sound of blowing~ ~ ~ ~}"
Me:  "He blew their house down?:
O:  "YES!"
Me:  "What did the pigs do after their house broke?"
H:  "Make more house."

Jeff asked them about it tonight & they went through the whole thing again for him.  Guess we know they were paying attention during story time!!
